Presenting this excellent opportunity to acquire a chain-free retirement apartment through the Modern Method of Auction, proudly offered to the market by Dewhurst Homes. Available on a 70% shared ownership basis, this well-maintained first-floor apartment forms part of the highly regarded Guardian Close retirement development in the heart of Fulwood, exclusively designed for residents aged 60 and over.

The apartment offers comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation, comprising a spacious lounge with pleasant views, a fitted kitchen, a generous double bedroom, and a three-piece shower room featuring a corner shower enclosure with electric shower.

In order to secure the property and ensure commitment from the seller, upon exchange of contracts the successful bidder will be expected to pay a non-refundable deposit equivalent to 5% of the purchase price. The deposit will form part of the purchase price. A non-refundable reservation fee of up to 6% inc VAT (subject to a minimum fee which could be up to 7,200 inc VAT) is also payable upon agreement of sale. The Reservation Fee is in addition to the agreed purchase price, and consideration should be given by the purchaser to any Stamp Duty Land Tax liability associated with the overall purchase costs.

There is no requirement or obligation to use any recommended suppliers or services.
